[PATCH v2 1/2] landlock: Serialize TSYNC thread restriction

[Yihan Ding]

syzbot found a deadlock in landlock_restrict_sibling_threads().
When multiple threads concurrently call landlock_restrict_self() with
sibling thread restriction enabled, they can deadlock by mutually
queueing task_works on each other and then blocking in kernel space
(waiting for the other to finish).

Fix this by serializing the TSYNC operations within the same process
using the exec_update_lock. This prevents concurrent invocations
from deadlocking. We use down_write_killable() to ensure the thread
remains responsive to fatal signals while waiting for the lock.

Fixes: 42fc7e6543f6 ("landlock: Multithreading support for landlock_restrict_self()")
